And It's Not Even the Weekend
Golly:
- A 15-year-old boy was shot and wounded in his lower back early Tuesday in Chatham. The shooting occurred in the area of East 79th Street and South Ingleside Avenue shortly before 3 a.m., according to police.
- A 15-year-old boy was released from the hospital Tuesday while his 11-year-old friend remained in stable condition with gunshot wounds in her leg and face after the two were shot Monday on the Far South Side.
- Two teenagers shot standing on a South Side street corner ran to a nearby fire station seeking help Tuesday night. A 15-year-old and 17-year-old male were standing on the corner of South Blackstone Avenue and East 67th Street when they were both shot in the arm,
- A 9-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man were wounded in a shooting on Chicago's South Side Tuesday evening, and a woman was shot in the parking lot of Jackson Park Hospital after the boy arrived there for treatment, authorities said. It was not immediately known if the shootings were related. The boy and man were on the street near 78th Street and Constance Avenue about 5:30 p.m. when someone fired shots from a passing vehicle, police said.
- A teenager was shot and critically wounded Tuesday night in a church on Chicago's South Side, authorities said. A boy, age 15 or 16, was shot multiple times about 6:30 p.m. in the 9800 block of South Throop Street, Chicago Police Officer John Mirabelli said.
Shot in the church? Gee, maybe these so called "churches" and "reverends" have closer ties to the gang, drugs, gun trades than the media is actually reporting? But we're sure they'll find some way to blame the police anyway.
Maybe momma and auntie can find a media camera and spout off about how "We expect our children to be shot by the thugs and the reverends, but not by the Chicago Police. That's just wrong!"

Where are the Reverends? Why aren't they spending time in their neighborhoods? Oh wait... they're too busy watching the Chicago cops.
This is the city that the govt. wanted.

Ya Ya Ya Your Wel Wel Welcome Ma Ma Mister May May Mayor.
Go eat a bag of smashed assholes, prick.
It wasn't this bad when Cline was the boss.
Shot 8 times over a dice game in the rectory.
Anybody know what the common denominator is in all of these shootings? Just curious?
Good news! While citizens were being gunned down left and right our beloved mayor for life, little dick daley was kept safe by his TWENTY TWO bodyguards.
Also 1 shot at 86th-Houston and 7500 Block of South Kingston, 6 shot 2 dead in 004, third watch today....
My thoughts and prayers are with 019 and Ricks family.
Police Officer shot in the head at Belmont and Western (0155hrs) doing a CTA check possibly. Officer taken to Masonic.
Offender shot . . condition unknown
Pray for the officer.
Police officer shot near NW Side station
A Chicago Police officer is in critical condition after being shot early Wednesday near a Northwest Side police station.
A police officer was shot about 2 a.m. at the 3200 block of North Western Avenue, Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said.
The officer was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in critical condition, Langford said.
Belmont area and district headquarters are at the 2400 block of West Belmont Avenue.
Hope that the officer is okay,things can happen anywhere even in 019...
Be Safe...
Off topic!!
A P.O. was shot and killed in 019 this evening, keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers! it can happen anywhere...
policeman hurt in 019
FYI 27yr veteran shot and died tonight in 019th district. God bless him and his family. I will say my prayers for him and hope that the bitch that shot him lives to regret the day she was born.
The church shooting happened in a beautiful Catholic church St. Margaret of Scitland the Priest let the boys in there in help clean the rectory, but they started playing a dice game instead, the boy was shot over $35.
Early this morning a veteran cop was shot in 019. A great guy. He was close to retirement and working 99. Fuck the south and west side, fuck the reverends, fuck this job and fuck all politicians and bosses. NO ONE SHOULD EVER WORK 99!!!!!
Are the dics gonna get SS cell phone records? After all she may be an accessory to a shooting. At least that would prove she had on going relationship with this little shit bag.
Our stuttering prick must immediately ban 15 years olds!
(At least the south side ones)
The church is St Margarets of Scotland and they have some maryville kids housed there.
19th District Officer Succumbed to His Wounds.
RIP Brother,May God Grant You Eternal Rest and Peace to Your Family and Friends...
We Will Never Forget!!!
Fuck These Savages,St. Michael the Archangel Guard and Protect Us!!!
OMG..
POLICE OFFICER KILLED!
POLICE OFFICER WITH OVER 25 YEARS ON THE JOB WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD IN 019 WHILE HANDLING A DISTURBANCE WITH A FEMALE ON THE CTA BUS!
AT LEAST THE BITCH IS DEAD..
Explain to me why a veteran officer who has put his time on the job is working patrol on midnights? When we have worthless pieces of shit officers with less than 5 yrs. working the desk and as watch secretaries? I know this guy was working in 019 which is a slow district, but still he should have been somewhere safe like 35th and Mich. enjoying the few years left before retirement where the worst thing that could happen is a paper cut. I'm so disgusted with this department and the politics involved.
I could only guess here..
But why do I have a feeling that the story is going to go like this...
Veteran officer working 99 due to man power shortage in 019.. Responded to a call of disturbance on CTA with a female.. Officer responded to job and was killed...
Let me guess.. man power shortage due to rapids, beat cars and tact officers in 019 being sent to some shit poor area to protect the shit poor citizens who don't have jobs and don't pay taxes and leech off the descent people on this earth...
Veteran officer working midnight patrol because some Juice Baby got a coushy spot as a watch secretary, desk or headquarters..
PLEASE POLICE THE HOMES OF POLICE OFFICERS AND BACK EACH OTHER UP EVEN ON THE MINUTEST JOBS!
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER AND STOP AND GET OUT THE CAR FOR OTHER OFFICERS!
THE COMMUNITY IS AGAINST US,
THE MEDIA IS AGAINST US,
THE POLITICANS ARE AGAINST US...
LET'S BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER..
BE SAFE. GOD BLESS.
Be careful out there people,wait for your backup and draw your weapon if in any doubt.
Rule #1
Always go home the same way you came to work at the end of your tour.
It's is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Watchout for each other and stay safe,it is war out there.
God Bless the deceased officer and his fmaily in their time of need.
Much more Youtube footage is required for the public to see. Image all of your best ghetto scenes over the years captured and put on the internet for the general public to digest. Now that would be priceless.
And hey, I thought churches were gun free zones. Am I missing something? Oh, you mean thugs don't care about that? Is this something new? Wasn't there a famous shooting at Holy Name Cathedral years and years ago? Thugs never respected anything and never will.
Who cares about these scum...one of our own was killed this morning. May he rest in peace and God comfort and bless his family.
RIP R.F.- My heart goes out to your family. God Bless You.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the 019 district P.O. murdered last night. May God bless him and welcome him in heaven where he now patrols. Please people, no trash talking, badmouthing or degrading each other for a while.
My prayers are with the copper who died early this morning after being shot near the 019th District station. Prayers out to his family too.
God Bless the fallen officer and his family.
Hey, hey,
Ho, ho,
PoLEECE brutality gots to go!
Oh, wait. It's not the PoLEECE shooting these people.
The PoLEECE should be doing something to stop this! Why aren't the PoLEECE doing something to control our out of control behavior!
We need more PoLEECE, but just not here, but they should be here doing something! But without being here. And we should sue the gun makers. It's their fault this is happening! The REVrund says so! I just gave him some of my hard earned welfare money. DAMN he got a nice ride!
each time one of those bodies hits the ground the taxpayers load lightens.
Where was his partner? Was the city in violation of our contract by manning a 99 car on 1st Watch?
OFFICER KILLED IN 019 THIS MORNING. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY....I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BROTHER.
Officer killed in 019
Perhaps this whole hear braking incident could have beeen avoided if this city wasn't so fucking cheap. This officer, from what I hear, was working 99. 99? If true, then this would be the direct result of what happens when man power is not where it should be.
I was working when the word spread, and my heart, like that of everyone else I work with, sank to the floor. God bless this man, and his family
Let the inner city party begin!
There won't be any Obama voters left in this cityif this violence keeps up!
shot in a church ??? let me guess the revrunds were trying to give gun safety lessons.
STAY HOME JODY AND DALEY..DONT SHOW UR FACE AT THE OFFICERS WAKE.WE KNOW U HATE US>STOP THE SHOW.ALSO THE BOSSES CAN SIT IN THE BACK THIS TIME.LET HIS BROTHERS SIT IN THE FRONT
National media seems to have missed the intent of Senator Obama's "Faithbased Initiative". It is modeled squarely on the Daley church/patronage program. It is an attempt to bribe Protestant churches and make them auxilliaries of the Democratic party. He is also going to force these churches to perform homosexual weddings if they take the federal funds. Obama is well aware of the muscle provided to the Machine at election time by criminal gang members organized by store-front preachers.
WAY TO GO FILLMORE!!!
Right about 2300 last night,(don't tell me these assholes don't know when we change shifts), an 8 year-old is grazed in the face by a bullet in the 900 block of Laverne. Why he is outside aside, for once the good guys catch a break and get a good car/offender description.
Not sure which unmarked started it but our ears were glued to our radios in 010 hoping that they would come toward us. The chase was on, a marked car took the lead, the dispatcher and the officers were real clear and cool as the pursuit progressed for some distance and out of 011 and thank-you 1199 for your blessing. The bad guys dead-ended in a school yard, bailed and were captured with their guns.
Great job all around!
PLEASE!!!!! Boys and Girls of the Proud CPD.....STAY SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!
What ever happened to 2 man cars on afternoons and midnights? Are we doing more work with less personal? Refuse 1 man cars on these watches and make the W/C put beats down. Stay safe.
The 3am should be highlighted!!!! I know it's CPD's fault that the kid was out at 3AM!!! I can hear mamma when she's signing the curfews on past nights, " Aintchoo Police got nothin ta do but mess wit my kids? Go get them boys sellin drugs and shootin!! Oh, butchoo scared ta mess wit dem!!" Half these people shouldn't be allowed to have goldfish let alone children!!!
I have been meeting with all the ministers and we have decided your shooting to kill is very bad so i am coming up with a new special order. An officer must learn to shoot to wound and of course to shoot in the leg so i am making every officer complete a 3 hour training session to practice shooting in the leg and arm.I am also adding that before an officer is able to use deadly force he must first say pretty please drop your weapon at least three times. In case of an officer shooting the ministers need a briefing so for now on you will be required to give a statement to the nearest minister withing two hours of a shooting and if he can not understand your proper english an ebonics translator will be available on call from operations command.Officers please always remember my first priority is to keep mayor daley happy,the ministers second and your well being third and if you remember that fact and say pretty please to all the gang bangers before you force you will have a long happy career....j fed
This was not a storefront church or a church run by the racist Revs. I believe it was a Catholic church and not St. Sabina.
HAH!!!!! Sorich and company lost their appeal! Now squeeze his balls and get the cocksucker Daley!
The Parish they may be talking about is St Margaret of Scotland, its a Catholic Parish. The Church is located on 99th St between Throop and Vincennes.
St. Margaret's Church is a traditional Catholic Church and school, that has many former parishioners, including P.O's, who attend their Sunday Mass. This church is bordered by St. Barnabas on the west and if you are looking to fulfill your Sunday obligation quickly, Father Mallette says mass in about 30 minutes. Father Mallette has been there for many years, works very hard for his parish, and is a true friend to many of the former parishioners. The area surrounding the school and church has gang problems, which is probably the source for this shooting. Please do not catergorize this church with the south side reverends and Father Pfleger. The church and school work very hard to keep safe, and usually have off-duty P.O's around for their functions.
Please keep your thoughts and prayers with victim and the people of St. Margaret's.
You think that's bad there areofficers working 99 on mid's in the 4th District... This department is out of control....

Well...why don't you walk into 019 and ol' Captain Janice why her daughter is working the desk in 012 on days with lest than 2 years on the job while a an old timer is working midnights 99? Because it's all a club and if you ain't hooked up...you ain't in it. None of these bosses really give a fuck about you. They're no different than shitbirds on the street, "I gots to gets mines!"
"The greatest show on earth!!"Chicago street violence.
Hey FOP! An officer has been killed while working 99 on 1st watch. This is prohibited by our contract. I know this has been happening for a long time and you are aware of it. This is what happens. This officer would most likely still be here today if he had a partner! Do you fucking jobs FOP!

Cline put us on this path with his event numbers and goofy missions. He sold us out by trading police work for stats that he could trot out to justify his (and our) actions to the public and media. He is not a smart man and our department will be paying for his stupidity and lack of originality for a long time.
"Does an ative police officer NEED an FOI card if all he owns is a duty related weapon?"
YES, it has been that way for at least 30 years that I know of.
Holy Confussed Batman!!!
Them reverends are mean mothers shooting up the pews...
How about those religious zealots taking all those IRS Charitable deductions to maintain bogus churches. There cars, property taxes, other expenses are all write-offs. For what? We need tax reform and a closer look at who's getting these tax breaks and what is a real church.
Like Rev. J. Wright's multi-million dollar retirement house. The church owns the house? I'd like to retire and have the church pay for it all too (tax free. Sounds like tax fraud to me.
Wright hates America but he loves the Internal Revenue Service's tax code doesn't he.
Wright hates American but stays in America to retire?
The world is a big place, so why stay in a place you don't like, respect or believe in? You can find thousands of expatriates all over the world. Why ain't the Reverend Wright one of them?
Rev. Wright did you really mean; do as I say, not as I do? Or just fill me up with your bull shit.

Is the age 63 mandatory retirement still in effect?
Currently, a mandatory retirement age of 63 is in effect for sworn personnel (i.e., those with peace officer status, as defined by 720 ILCS 5/2-13)
To all officers:
Please do a personal inventory of your equipment, please check and make sure your holsters are in perfect working order, not frayed, ready to break or just worn to the point that they are rendered useless on the street, and please all you guys that like to wear pancake holsters on duty, STOP, level 2 or better only please!!!
The church at 98th and Throop where the shooting took place was at St. Margaret of Scotland, a Catholic church that is a mainstay of the neighborhood.

Dear JODY or is it JODI?
Please do not insult us all by wearing OUR uniform to the wake and or funeral. You have NO business wearing it. Please wear a suit.
Thank you,
Someone who earned it.
To all Midnight and Afternoon officers...
Refuse to work 99, make them down a car if they have to. The so called citizen's don't respect us, they are out to kill us and we need to protect each other.
All you officers close to retirement and working patrol.. Enjoy your last years before retirement and kick these little worthless clout babies off the desk and onto the streets.. We respect you.. you did your time.

Per the law no. Per court decisions yes.
Although the law technically allows one to posses a firearm without FOID in the performance of one's duty; courts have held that shopping or eating, for example, even while in an on duty status is not in the performance of one's duty therefore, said decision creates a de facto policy of requiring on duty officers possess an FOID.
Our general orders have even been changed to reflect the decision.
It is actually required if one never wants to run afoul of the law.

Don't forget eddie burke with 6, the treasurer with a few but stragely the big balls city clerk refused any bodyguards stating "I am a man and can drive myself not a pansy like the rest" great statement how about it boss why does king eddie need so many 2 at all times why not 1 so he could sit in front seat! Why the treasurer no one even knows who she is she could have her big ass drive herself like the clerk does why not? why do burkes guys have a schedule 2 on 3 off and overtime who is the timekeeper?
Is it not true that all Bt. cars are to be 10-4 units on afternoons and midnights per contract? What about this F.O.P.?

Not only crime, but welfare, foreclosures, etc..

Off Topic
Jody gets his ass reamed by Alderman.
OFF TOPIC-- not sure where to post this, so I'll leave it here. Simply food for thought, nothing more.... Many of us (myself included) either don't mind or choose to work 99 on the 3rd watch and on mids, however, there are a whole lot of us that have partners assigned to our regular cars that end up working 99 several nights per week due to a lack of manpower. It's not an "I'm scared to work alone" issue, its a "if I make as stink about working alone I lose my partner and car and work alone anyway" issue. I was talking with a couple coppers last week who were working 99.. both said how much they hate working 99, yet it's understood that they have to anyway. They are right, and its total BS that this job has come to this. Footposts are fully staffed, caps office is bursting at the seams, there are several timekeeprs, paper shufflers, and butt wipers sutffing hq and dist. offices to the gills while we are so short citywide that often the only 2 man car up is the wagon, provided it's not downed for R-service. Sure, procedure dictates that you wait for backup before you enter a hostile job, but in actuality it does not work this way. How many times have we all worked 99, gone to a routine paper job, and found out that the wonderful call taker had dispatch send you into a hornet's nest? Or pulled over a car for a pimpy traffic stop only to find yourself sweating a tad until help arrives...I'm not laying blame, second guessing anyone, just posting food for thought. We all know the risks involved, all know what can happen, but we also know that money that should be spent on manpower is instead going to olympics and social programs...what is it going to take for our city budget folks to hire enough of us to take care of each other? I'm not trying to relate this to last night's tragedy, I DO NOT have any knowledge of the cirumstances and AM NOT casting blame or criticisim of anyone involved--- simply, a lot of us have been reflecting over the last day or so, this popped into my mind, and I figured I'd throw it out there. Stay safe.
Wait for the Funeral when the Runt turns on the Water Works & starts blubbering. Perhaps one Ricks Family will slap him so fuckng hard he'll really have a reason to cry. F'HIM & HIS FALSE SYMPATHY!!

Make sure your mags are clean:no oil just take them apart once a year and clean the dust bunnies out with a tooth brush.Inspect for cracks,dents.Deadline any mag that is unreliable(throw away).
Detail strip your weapons once a year and clean/oil.Have a certified armorer for that weapon inpsect it once a year.
Clean/oil weapons weekly.We live in the salt belt and it can get into bore(ask me how I know).
Check all batteries and replace/charge on regular basis.Use quality power cells.Lithium good for disposables/long shelf life.
Clean and oil your handcuffs.Set up properly in your pouch to avoid fumbling.
Wear your armor always!!
Carry a backup gun.A .38 snubby is still a good choice.
I guess those cameras are not much of a deterrent
Please keep your thoughts and prayers with victim and the people of St. Margaret's.

Let's leave the mutts playing craps in the church basement out of our thoughts and prayers.
The victim is the Church. A community overrun by irresponsible parents breeding evil children. Teenagers of many city workers who are as bad as the worst gang bangers on the west and south sides. Escalades and shinny rims more important than family. Look down every block from the Church. They're everywhere.
Let's instead weep for a once great Church in a once thriving neighborhood. A Church that will soon sustain the same brick-eating decay found throughout the Southside as this plague moves onward seeking more neighborhoods and more churches.
004 is so busy they're pulling officers from 003
Sorry SCC, but I cannot bite my tongue. Everyone should be outraged not only with the city but with the FOP. They all know perfectly well that the department is short a few thousand officers and no one should work 99 on 1st/3rd watch citywide. We should be demanding answers.
Next, this goes out to all the super cops out there that tells a dispatcher I don't need an assist I'll call if I need help. STOP THAT SHIT!!!!! Fuck this department and city, make them down a second car to handle a job since they don't have the manpower to man 10-4 cars. When the raps start accumulating maybe someone will do something about it. It should also be policy that a dispatcher MUST assign a backup unit even if the paper car doesn't want it.
I hope the officers family contacts an attorney and sues the city if they didn't have enough man power to fully staff the beat cars.
The Obamas, that lovely couple from the lovely neighborhood of Bill Ayers and Bernie Dohrn, have both let their law licences expire. Not the big question is ARE THEY STILL A COUPLE OF SHYSTERS, or are they promoted to low lifes and bottom feeders?
Does the shyster-ness ever come off or is it with them forever?
If I was to guess I would say they look the same (Snidley and Mrs. Whiplass) Talk the same, out the sides of their mouths. Pose and walk the same, like of couple of matching corkscrews and smell the same, like dead rotting fish.
So I guess they are still the same.

If this is true- which moron regime in the FOP gave it away?
Years ago- late 70's early 80's, after a couple of police officers were shot, group of police wives pressured the department to stop making their husbands work 99 after dark. If you worked 99 after dark-that is if you wanted to-you needed to have a waiver on file.
Came on in the mid 80's-when did this go away?
and in a related topic...
Rumor around our station today was that some garbage broadcast station had the flippin' nerve to let a goofball comment on the Francis' shooting -the woman said something to the effect of "He deserved it, they are shooting our children." Does anyone know which station? Where the hell is the FOP? Jody? The mayor?
I think it's more than time for us to march on city hall...
The Media reports as they do because they've learned what style and angle sells the most advertising. The overall TV media market realizes that as much as it bows down to the lower intelligence levels of this nation, they get more revenue by modeling their news departments after the Springer show.
They know from market research and show longevity that the general population will watch their channel longer through the advertising if they can aggravate or incite their viewers. Pay close attention to the advertising that appears between segments during the afternoon hours.
People nowadays watch TV to get pissed off so they can rant their opinion. Much like this blog, people come here to see the latest foul event that pisses them off and they're given the avenue to vent. That's why many return on a repeat basis. If there were nothing but positive things said here no one would return.
TV knows intelligent viewers who don't enjoy the springerlike version of events that tend to incite or upset also don't fall for bullshit advertising. So why present the news in a fashion that caters to the intelligent consumer who isn't brainwashed by advertising when they can tailor the story towards those that will faithfully tune in to a channel that presents the news in a way that makes them feel better about themselves?
Shitheads (conspicuous consumers) are easily baited to wait through advertising until the story they want comes on in a version that makes them happy.
As an old guy myself, I would rather work 99 on midnights in a district than a desk with a bunch of useless three year wonders.
I'll take my chances.

It wasn't this bad when Cline was the boss.
7/02/2008 12:49:00 AM
Let me remind you how Cline started TRU and took 100's of po's off the watch. Not to mention all of the soft unit spots he created for everyone he need to "take care Of" Cline cared about Cline and his heavy clouted proteges and that was it. Every merit spot was filled by that asshole and most given to det.s and unit po's. The watch personnel were never good enough for him, what an insult to us all.
Explain to me why a veteran officer who has put his time on the job is working patrol on midnights? When we have worthless pieces of shit officers with less than 5 yrs. working the desk and as watch secretaries? I know this guy was working in 019 which is a slow district, but still he should have been somewhere safe like 35th and Mich. enjoying the few years left before retirement where the worst thing that could happen is a paper cut. I'm so disgusted with this department and the politics involved.

Rick liked the streets and chose to work midnites. He wasn't interested in being stuck inside.
When I see the front office po's come to work in their jeans and summer clothes, it pisses me off. They get paid to be the police same as me. Why arent they forced to put the uniform on? They sit in air conditioned offices anyway. Im the one who is in the hot humid sun. I should be able to wear my jeans or summer clothes, not them.
Why cant we hire civilians to do the desk work. Its a joke and insult!

Per the law no. Per court decisions yes.
Although the law technically allows one to posses a firearm without FOID in the performance of one's duty; courts have held that shopping or eating, for example, even while in an on duty status is not in the performance of one's duty therefore, said decision creates a de facto policy of requiring on duty officers possess an FOID.
Our general orders have even been changed to reflect the decision.
It is actually required if one never wants to run afoul of the law.

That was really on target. It could be said of many southside churches and neighborhoods.

Tuesday night, Francis took out a beat car alone and was patrolling when he saw a CTA bus driver flagging him near Belmont and Western, said Belmont District Cmdr. John Kenny.[...]

What BS commander, attempting to deflect the one-man car issue by going on the offense.
How many 99 units were rolling in 019 last night? How many in the entire city? What was the percentage of beat cars riding 99?
I'm talking District law...beat cars. Not TRU, tact, gangs, gun teams, etc. District beat cars. You know, the people answering the radio jobs and hand waivers.

We have people who are incompetent and inexperience doing a job that puts other officer's lives on the line.

How about the secretary at midway Moran brings her in, and with no loyalty she stayed and he left to 003 she could be his tact secretary but she stayed a 5 year wonder again inside job! More importantly why is the predator (fop rep lol) JJ on days being sued by female officers and has numerous sexual beefs but he remains guess Ike's guy can do whatever he wants, Ike why is your family being merit promoted? Call you bullshit rev friends Ike and let them kill crime!
They all know perfectly well that the department is short a few thousand officers and no one should work 99 on 1st/3rd watch citywide. Next, this goes out to all the cops out there that tell a dispatcher I don't need an assist I'll call if I need help. STOP THAT SHIT!!!!!
**There shouldn't be 99 cars on ANY watch. You get paid 8 hours... wait for your assist car if you are working 99. Don't do it alone if you don't have to.

Don't pretend that every white family is doing well in this nation,because if you do you are lying and cheating those that are struggling from getting what the need.

Let's leave the mutts playing craps in the church basement out of our thoughts and prayers.
The victim is the Church. A community overrun by irresponsible parents breeding evil children. Teenagers of many city workers who are as bad as the worst gang bangers on the west and south sides. Escalades and shinny rims more important than family. Look down every block from the Church. They're everywhere.
Let's instead weep for a once great Church in a once thriving neighborhood. A Church that will soon sustain the same brick-eating decay found throughout the Southside as this plague moves onward seeking more neighborhoods and more churches.

You should not have fled the neghborhood.
There is no reason that one man cars should be up on 3rd and 1st watch. The city has let the police dept fall into disrepair and now officers are getting hurt and killed. FOP does nothing of course.

All it takes is brass with some balls. If captains or above kept ALL 3rd and mids 10-4, no exceptions, half the watch would be downed, easily defendable for "officer safety' . Once joe citizen realizes that it is going to take 2 hours for a car to arrive, the cat is out of the bag... WE ARE TOO SHORT. Then the citizens start screaming for more police, and little dick will HAVE to hire more of us. Notice how this scenerio is utterly dependent on a supervisor?

There are people on the job that like midnights (thank God), old and young.
If you don't know that, you don't have much time on the job..or brains
THIS WORKING P.O. FROM EDISON PARK SAYS: GOD BLESS YOU OFFICER FRANCIS AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES, LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS IN BED I CRYED ALL NIGHT. AS ONE MILITARY VETERAN TO ANOTHER , YOU SIR ARE MY HERO. AND TO JFED , A BIG F-CKYOU. AND PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE FUNERAL OF THIS TRUE AMERICAN HERO. IF YOU DO ATTEND WHEN YOU SPEAK I WILL TURN HEAD TO LEFT AND PUT MY HANDS IN MY POCKET.
I know this will bring on a bunch of nasty comments but as a W/C I do not believe anyone should go out 99 on any watch. Given that there are officers that prefer it. There are days when we come up with an uneven amount of people or someone calls for last minute time. I always ask the person who's partner is unavailable if they would prefer a partner to working 99. If they do I will find someone by taking a desk person and putting them on the car. But we all know there are people out there that no one wants to work with and those are usually the ones available. Often the P.O. states he would rather work alone. If that person stated they did not want to work alone or with the person I can free up from inside. ( and I really wish they would) I am more than willing to assign them as an extra body inside for the day and down the car. However when given that option they usually refuse and reiterate that they would rather put in a slip for time or go out 99. . I am not going to take 8 hours from someone who would rather work. Any ideas from you guys out there?
This is the way this shitty city and department works.
I work out of the 13th Dist. I did my time in 15 and in Public Housing. The midnight cars are 10-4 during the slow weekdays but are usually 99 during the weekends.
However, our fine Commander makes sure we have a traffic car up at all times and one or two civilian dressed cars up, even though the rest of the watch is 99.
Did I mention that we have no lockup anymore but have 5 people assigned to the desk job where maybe 2 citizens come in for reports during the 1st watch?
Total bullshit.

Let me enlighten YOU, cockbreath.
When the percentage of 'people of color' killing, raping, robbing and fucking over each other equals or is less than the same percentage of people not considered by 'people of color' to be people of color, then open your pie hole.
And when the percentage of 'people of color' equals or is greater than the percentage of people, whom the self-proclaimed 'people of color' define as not people of color, who understand and embrace the reality that, to have an income one must earn that income by doing useful work.
And useful work requires, at the least, the willingness and desire to learn what work is useful and how to do said work.
Try starting with picking up the garbage that covers the public ways in the neighborhoods where all these 'people of color' seem to find it so natural to shit where they live.
Try starting by helping a few of the children of the 'people of color' to learn how to do something useful, so they have something to offer an employer, besides bitching.
Try starting by being an example of what an honest, civilized, hard working, intelligent, thoughtful and ethical human being is, then complain that the statistics requested don't accurately reflect the realities of life.
Your problem isn't that people who are not considered people of color by those who consider themselves 'people of color' are dishonest, it's that 'people of color' are dishonest, in the most egregious and harmful way possible, that being, being dishonest with themselves.
What's stopping 'people of color' from helping others, starting with other 'people of color'?
What's preventing 'people of color' from doing the minimum to maintain the places where they live?
What are the obstacles in the way of learning anything and everything possible that might, or would, be of use in earning an income?
What excuses will you come up with?
Besides blaming everything wrong with your life on 'the white man'?
"You should not have fled the neghborhood.

No, you should not have moved into the neighborhood.
"Any ideas from you guys out there?

You've got it right, from front to back.
It's the officer's choice, as it should be.
Some don't have the respect that you do. And that's the problem.
